To consider the report of the Head of Licensing and Registration on an application to vary an existing club premises certificate held at the Adrian Social Club, 1a Belle Vue Avenue, Leeds LS8

(Report attached)

The Sub-Committee, having regard to the Licensing Act 2003, the Section 182 Guidance and the Authority’s own Statement of Licensing Policy considered an application to vary an existing club premises certificate held at the Adrian Social Club, 1a Belle Vue Avenue, Leeds 8

Written representations had been received from  LCC Environmental Health, and a number of members of the public.

Present at the hearing were:

Mr James Crabbe- the applicant

Mr Keith Harrison- President of the Club

Councillors C Macniven and G Hussain- local ward Councillors

The Sub-Committee heard from the applicant who stated that they only wished to be able to open as late as applied for in the licence on New Years Eve, and that although they would like to extend their hours they wouldn’t want them to be until as late as 01:00 hours, however they had been advised that they should apply for this in order to have flexibility. The applicant agreed to amend his application in the following terms:

-  Friday and Saturday until 12.00 midnight

-  Sunday until 11.00 pm

-  Non standard timings (12.30am- Xmas Eve and New Years Eve)

-  Every day until 11.00 p.m.

-  That the Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve restrictions would be removed and replaced with a new non standard timing to be imposed for all licensable activities for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve 00:30.

Councillors Macniven and G Hussain outlined their concerns with regard to the application,  particularly around adding dancing as a licensable activity, and to the times of the original application.

The Sub- Committee carefully considered all the written and verbal submissions. The Sub-Committee were of the view that granting the amended application would uphold the licensing objectives.

RESOLVED- that the application as amended be granted in the following terms-

-  All licensable activities Sunday – Monday 11:00 a.m. – 23:00 hours

-  All licensable activities Friday and Saturday 11:00 a.m. – 12.00 midnight

-  That the Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve restrictions would be removed and replaced with a new non standard timing to be imposed for all licensable activities for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve 00:30.
